Although rs2284033, the asthma-associated SNP at IL2RB, showed suggestive evidence of association with T1D in the Barrett et al. meta-analysis 20 (p = 0.005; Table S1), other SNPs in the region were more convincingly associated with T1D (rs3218253, p = 2.54 × 10−521; and rs229541, p = 1.98 × 10−8) 26). The gene discussed is IL2RB; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
